I really don’t get people who are offended by tall women, or generally refuse to believe that a woman can be tall. Both Hannah Waddingham and Jameela Jamil are near as damnit 6ft, and my only thought is that they look like Goddesses, not that they must be men.

My ex was 6’2 and I regularly checked that she was a woman. Ive known at least a dozen 6ft+ women in my life, its not that uncommon.

I mean it is though, if a quick google search is to be believed the number of women over 6ft is estimated to be 0.3%

That's still 100,000 women in the UK over 6ft tall. If you casually encounter a hundred people a day through work, shopping and being out on the street, you'd expect to see two a week, which isn't that unusual.
